Big Brother contestant George Gilbert has been removed from the show for using unacceptable language and exhibiting inappropriate behavior. At just 23 years old, Gilbert had been part of the latest season, which premiered on ITV in September.
Incident Details
On October 6, during a notable episode, Gilbert had received multiple warnings regarding his conduct. His language was particularly criticized for mocking fellow contestant Sam Ashby. In a segment of Truth or Dare, Gilbert imitated Ashby’s speech and mannerisms, which Ashby later described as “rude” and reminiscent of school bullying.
Official Response
A representative for Big Brother stated, “Following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour, George has been removed from the Big Brother House with immediate effect.” Although Gilbert will appear in the upcoming episode, any comments deemed offensive will not be broadcast.
Previous Behavior
This incident was not Gilbert’s first red flag. He had previously faced backlash for comments about homeless individuals, suggesting they should take personal responsibility instead of resorting to substance use.
Warnings Issued
- Multiple warnings were given to Gilbert for inappropriate language.
- He was formally reprimanded in the Diary Room for mocking Ashby.
- Big Brother reiterated that all contestants are trained on respect and inclusion before entering the house.
Next Steps
Gilbert was already at risk of eviction, scheduled for Friday. Despite his removal from the show, the eviction episode will proceed as planned, with further updates expected during the upcoming broadcast of Big Brother: Late & Live.
